VIDEO: See the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament Winner's Awesome Final Jeopardy Response

If there was one thing Jeopardy!contestant Leonard Cooper wasn't lacking when he went into the championships of the game show's teen tournament Tuesday, it was confidence.

Cooper, a senior from Little Rock, Ark., first solidified his position as the frontrunner by risking $18,000 of his $18,200 on a Daily Double wager — a move host Alex Trebek called "gutsy." But it paid off, as Cooper's knowledge that the titular men in the play 12 Angry Men were serving on a jury brought his total to $36,200.

Heading into Final Jeopardy, where the category was "Military Men," Cooper had $37,000, more than double the amount held either of his opponents — meaning that, as long as he wagered nothing, he was guaranteed to win regardless of correctly answering the clue.

The clue was: "On June 6, 1944, he said, 'The eyes of the world are upon you.'" His response? "Who is some guy in Normandy, but I just won $75,000!"

Though Cooper didn't know the correct answer, he did know that he had enough money to take home the top prize of $75,000. (For the record, the correct response was Dwight D. Eisenhower.)
